Robert Kogge - "Colored Pencil and Ink Wash on Canvas"
By working directly with colored pencils and ink wash on unprimed canvas, this class joins painting and drawing disciplines to a single process as an alternate or extension to more traditional methods. These media elect the heavy weave of the canvas as the dominant but impersonal mark, distilling positive and negative space evenly, and rendering a particulate profile to the image emerging through the landscape of its woven ground. Cost: $300. www.facebook.com/rvkogge. www.lifeprocesscenter.org and click on the "Adult Art Workshops" to register. Franciscan Life Process Center, 897-7842
